DE&S Awards Frazer Nash Consultancy Contract for Naval Design Partnering

DE&S has awarded a Naval Design Partnering (NDP) contract to Frazer-Nash Consultancy to establish and manage a necessary framework to deliver technical design services for the Royal Navy.

The contract is for four years, with the option to extend by two years, and builds on the success of the previous NDP contract that ran from 2018 until April 2024.
